Police said a man from Aberdeen suffered fatal personal injuries on the night of February 14 after a head-on collision on Saunders Boulevard in Aberdeen.

Aberdeen Police Department Deputy Chief Jim Foster said that 42-year-old William John Anderson received air transport to UNC Hospitals in Chapel Hill, but was later pronounced dead there.

The accident took place around 10 p.m. as Anderson was approaching a bridge over railroad tracks near Guilford Street while traveling north in a 1997 Toyota Tacoma pickup truck. While traveling across the bridge, he swerved left and the truck grazed the concrete guardrail and crossed the center line.
